In this study, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students’ knowledge of history of mathematics and their attitudes and beliefs towards the use of history of mathematics in school mathematics were investigated according to gender and grade level. Moreover, a possible statistical relationship was investigated between the addressed knowledge and attitudes and beliefs. Data was collected through Knowledge of History of Mathematics Test and Attitudes and Beliefs toward using History of Mathematics in School Mathematics Questionnaire, which was specifically adopted for this study, from 499 students in 6 middle schools in Ankara via clustered-random sampling. The descriptive studies revealed that most of the students stated that history of mathematics was not given a place in their classes and that they did not follow publications related to history of mathematics. On the other hand, the students’ knowledge of history of mathematics was insufficient in general. Their attitudes and beliefs towards the use of history of mathematics in school mathematics were close to positive, but their ideas on this issue did not maturate yet. Two-way analyses of variance indicated significant differences in students’ knowledge of history of mathematics and attitudes and beliefs towards using history of mathematics favoring females and some upper grades. A significant relationship was found between the knowledge and attitudes and beliefs through Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient.

Middle school mathematics teachers’ mathematical practices in teaching slope, linear equations, and graphs in technology enhanced classroom environment Yemen Karpuzcu, Seçil; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2017) The aim of this study was to examine an in-service middle school mathematics teacher’s mathematical practices in teaching slope, linear equations and graphs in a technology enhanced classroom environment while enacting an instructional sequence that was designed based on the national curriculum. The technology utilized in the study was GeoGebra materials within computers that were developed by the teacher and the researcher to be used for the instructional sequence. The data was collected during the spring ...
Middle school mathematics teachers’ perceptions of inclusion and their use of teaching strategies in basic arithmetical operations and problems Gülden, Berna; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019) The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of middle school mathematics teachers about inclusion and their teaching strategies in basic arithmetical operations and problems. In addition, the other purpose is to investigate opinions of middle school mathematics teachers about touch point, concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) and virtual-representational-abstract (VRA) strategies. The study was carried out in the 2018-2019 academic year in a middle school in Küçükçekmece, Istanbul with six mathem...
Through Their Eyes: Gifted Students' Views on Integrating History of Mathematics Embedded Videos Into Mathematics Classrooms Karatas-Aydin, Firdevs Iclal; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2022-04-01) This study examined gifted students' views on integrating the history of mathematics embedded videos into mathematics classrooms. The research was conducted with 30 fifth-grade students who were identified as gifted with the WISC-R Intelligent Test Score and aptitude test. Data were collected through students' video reflection papers after watching the videos on biographies of mathematicians. Content analysis was conducted to analyze data collected with reflection papers. The findings were grouped as histor...
Exploring secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy Genç, Murat; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2017) The purpose of this research study was to investigate secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy. In doing so, the following three crucial interrelated issues were addressed: (i) teachers’ conceptions of what the notion of mathematical literacy means, (ii) teachers’ conceptions of how the development of mathematical literacy could be facilitated, and (iii) teachers’ conceptions of what a mathematics curriculum emphasizing mathematical literacy should look like. The data gathered fo...
